Tibrogargan

for trombone and digital delay

Robert Davidson
Performance Notes
Set the delay to result in four to five repetitions of the live sound at
a time interval of four bars (exactly 6 seconds).

The first section of the piece (bars 1-136) is played entirely on the
notes of the harmonic series. The passage should be played in
first position with F attachment.

The ending of the piece (bars 393-94) should be played as follows:

Repeat a rapid downward harmonic glissando sporadically every

second or so with a gradual accelerando. The duration of the
glissando should be short - about a quaver in the most recent tempo.

After about five to eight repeats, start to respond to the sound of

the delay by playing immediately after the sound. Gradually close
the time gap between the live and delay sound until a rhythmic
unison is reached (or something close to a unison)

Upon reaching a rhythmic unison, start to gradually slow down the

glissando, and extend its duration and downwards range with each
successive repeat. Eventually the glissando should last about
six seconds and come torest on the final low F. The final note should
be held until all delayed repetitions are also playing F.
